HOW To nooM.

It will repay the readers of the
APPEAL to read and ponder over
the following from the Sacramento
Bee: The boom of all booms
known to modern times was that ut
Wichita, Kansas, the year past.
Even the marvellous development
.sof Southern California is not to be
compared to it. A few years ago
Jew people lad heard of Wichita at
AL, or If they had, it was only in
Ac'dentally as a stopping station
along the line of a railway. But
!. they have fair country around
Wichita, although in California it
would not be considered much
where the country is buried in snow
for one-third of the year and parch-
ed in a cruel sun for another third.
But what IS better than rich soil
or benign climate, they had in Wi
chita men of brains, energy, per-
severance and intelligence. They
were a tireless, restless band, and de-
termined that their town was not
what it ought to be. They met and
talked and found out what they
wanted. Then they began to act.
Every man of them agreed to set
aside his personal preferences or
.prejudices and pull for the boom,
we'll knowing that if the town pros
pered SO would, OF necessity, they.
There were no petty chickering's, no
rivalry of selfish interests. Every
body was for the boom heart and
soul and, incidentally, for himself.
Then the work seemed easy
enough. These citizens met, not
once a month or week, but nearly
every night. The next step and
the most important after the deter
mination to work together was to
insist upon filling the local newspa-
pers with live, fresh advertisements.
Everybody responded. and the
newspapers went out to the coun-
try round as messengers with tales
of Wichita's property. From being
sickly. struggling concerns, the
papers began to assume the airs of
rugged health, and people abroad
who read them began to surmise
that q town which maintained sush |
papers must be a right smart place.
Strangers began to give the town
some attention and suddenly the |
enterprising citizens began to feel
the boom. In one year 5000 |
buildings were erected and &c, 900 |
people added to the population.
Property multiplied in value in
town and all the region round.
The village became a city as if in q
night. Brains, enterprise, vigilance
did it.
In Los Angeles methods some
what similar prevail. There the
universal determination is to sell
every stranger something. If the
visitor calls at one real estate
Office and tails to satisfy himself he
is cordially sent 10 another with
the assurance that he will there
find just what he needs. II one
lunged Mr.. Smith tells an agent
that agent Jones offered him a GER
tain lot for $4,000 he is advised
hat the offer is bargain. Jones
will not decry land that his rival
has for sale, and Robinson
is quite as magnan,mous. SO the
thing goes. "Sell'em something"
is the motto of every body. If Jones
can't do it, he will help Robinson
TO sell. Everybody is helping
everybody else, and the result is
that all are helping one another. II

She watched for the post, that like fate,
Just stopped and galoped away

Her grandchld tugged at her shawl and gown.
And her daughter called, sweet and clear.

And the boys and father are here"
'.Ah. yes" she said land the night is cold;
l quite forgot that I'm growing Old
At breakfast lay at the fathers place

He looked at it with curious face,
And said. Now. l want TO know"
The boys all smiled; the mother grew
Der face and throat crimson hue.

And 10 in it, satiny fold
Was painted rose and forget-me-not.
And lilies with hearts of gold;
And. under the whole. just one sweet line

He touched the note with tender care,
Aud he went to his sweet wife's side;

And he kissed her with loving pride,
Saving. with smiles and misty tears.

Keep the Best Sheep.

Every sheep owner should make 1t his
rule to keep the best Of his flock of
sheep and lambs to breed from,so that
his flock will be constantly improving
and increase in profitableness. He
should not, as too often is done, keep
selling off the best and keeping the
poorest TO breed from. That is the
right way to run out his flock and rem
der the business Improbable. 1t al
ways pays better to keep the best Of
any kird of farm stock than it does to
keep the poorest.
CLOVER HAY For SHEEP.-Clover
hay is one of the best of foods for sheep.
Sheep that are old and out Of condition
will improve surprisingly on clover hay,
and sometimes become quite feshy
Clover hay is the richest in nutriment
of any hay produced on the farm. yet
it will not sell for anywhere near as
much as herdsgrass hay. Clover hay
should always be retained at home and
fed out to the sheep or cows. 1t should
be raised more extensively on farms
generally, as it improves the condition
Of the land and is rich in nutriment for
all kinds of stock.

From the llou-ckce per
Easy Chair.
+. G.. We sTER.
Pasadena. Cal.

want to tell the Sisters" a nice
way to make an easy chair; it is truly
a rest to both body aud mind.
Take any old, large rocking chair
with high back and arms. If it hap
pens to be one from which the cane
seat has ing loriously departed Gas
ours was J, stretch burlaps over ii aud
make it secure. Begin at the center Of
the front edge of,he seat and measure
carefully up over the arm around the
edge of the side of the back and top,
and 50 around it all Make roll the
length of the measure and about six
inches In diameter For this use an
old comforter or quilt AM cotton bat
ting. Make it just as solid as you can
and sew it together so it won't slip or
give.
Have the back and seat nicely pad
ded, also from the arms down to the
seat. Here you see comes in use for
pieces of the quilt. Now take the roll
and begin in the center Of the front Of
the chair and tasten it securely, so it
will stand straight out as much as pos
sible. Next carry it up over the arm
and around the outside edge of The sides
and top, down over the other arm, and
on the edge of the seat and fasten the
ends together. Use strong Irvine and
large needle. and do every bit Of the
work good and solid SO it will stay in
shape; for if you don't it will get all
loose and wiggly.
When all the paddings are complete,
cover it nicely with cretonne or any
cloth you fancy. Cover the roll first,
bringing the cloth over and down on
the inside of the arm to the seat Then
you can fix the pieces for the back and
seat aud fasten them neatly to hide the
edges of the roll Now fasten a piece
of cloth on the outside back Of the
chair. Take piece OF cloth and put a
straight skirt around the under part
Of the chair and fasten it up under the
arm roll 1t will need to be wider in
some places, and shared to fit up IN
der the arm roll Have the lower edge
straight. Make cushion or not just
as you like. and if you haven't one
of the most comfortable chairs You
ever saw you can sue me for all dam
ages.
